The soldiers of Armageddon are on the march, laying waste to worlds in their passage. An audacious plan could stop them forever, but it carries risks that one starship captain is unwilling to take. For Captain Jean-Luc Picard, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal -- and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered. For Captain William Riker, that choice has already been made. Haunted by the memories of those he was forced to leave behind, he must jeopardize all that he has left in a desperate bid to save the Federation. For Captain Ezri Dax, whose impetuous youth is balance by the wisdom of many lifetimes, the choice is a simple one: there is no going back -- only forward to whatever future awaits them. But for those who, millennia ago, had no choice...this is the hour of their final, inescapable destiny.

This novel, the third in the fan-favorite Destiny Trilogy, brings the storylines of the preceding novels together for a satisfying conclusion.
That said, I think your appreciation for this novel will vary directly with your level of Star Trek fandom. If you’re a superfan, you’ll probably love it. If you’re a casual fan, maybe not so much: ‘Lost Souls’ assumes a certain degree of familiarity with its characters and their back stories that the casual fan is unlikely to possess.
That said, I’m somewhere in the middle. I know who some of these people are, and their back stories are vaguely familiar to me. Consequently, I enjoyed this adventure without loving it. I’m comfortable giving it a qualified recommendation.
